Robber Fly (Neosaropogon sp.)
Female Neosaropogon sp. Thanks to Dr. Chris Cohen for providing the determination on 'diptera.info' website. Found at Auburn River National Park. Queensland, Australia.
Unfortunately it was too wary for me to get closer than this and I only got a couple of snaps before it tired of my presence and skidaddled. Gives me a reason to go back for another visit. ;-)
Single exposure, heavily cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
